London - Shell Lubricants has retained its status as the leading global supplier of finished lubricants for 19 consecutive years, according to the 23rd edition of Kline & Company’s (Kline) report, Global Lubricants: Market Analysis and Assessment 2025.
Kline ranks Shell as the #1 global lubricants supplier based on finished lubricants sales volumes across automotive and industrial segments worldwide.
According to the report, Shell has maintained its leading position with global market share at 11.6%, with global sales in 2024 being split almost evenly between the three segments: 37% consumer automotive, 32% industrial, and 31% commercial automotive.
The report provides a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of automotive and industrial finished lubricants products.
The report assesses the use of lubricants across end use industries, trade classes and emerging market trends such as electric vehicles (EVs) and immersion cooling fluids (ICFs) in both the digital and energy infrastructure.
Shell has once again held its number one ranking for all three lubricants categories: consumer automotive, commercial automotive and industrial.
Jason Wong, Global Executive Vice President Shell Lubricants, said:
“At nineteen consecutive years of leadership as the number one global supplier of finished lubricants, we remain focused on the ability of lubricants to power progress across consumer, commercial and industrial applications.
Our aim is to become the most customer-focused energy marketer and trader, and we continue to invest in premium, high-efficiency products.
These offerings create long-term value in areas where we have market leadership and competitive advantages.”
Sushmita Dutta, Senior Project Manager at Kline, commented:
“To maintain the number one position in the global lubricants market for nineteen consecutive years is a remarkable achievement.
Our analysis shows that Shell’s success is built on a consistent strategy: investing in technologically advanced, premium products and building lasting relationships with customers across all sectors."
Shell’s global leadership position and competitive advantage has been driven by investments in premium and differentiated products including Shell Helix passenger car motor oil, Shell Rimula truck and heavy-duty engine oils, and Shell Tellus and Shell Gadus for the industrial sectors, which are all preferred brands in many major markets.
